I just want to say to my husband...instead of involving lawyers and me getting X amount, I only want this, so is that workable for you?...and yes, I'm living in dreamland again, but one can hope.

    Good luck today!

    Don't sell yourself short. You can walk away. Head held high and still make sure you have enough to provide for your child.

        I always used to settle for less to keep the peace as I don't like conflict. But when it comes to my son or now my step daughters I am like a grizzly bear.

          I would say in most cases it's just not fair and things are greatly taken advantage of and in some it's.

          As I said for me it looks like your case is one of thous (fair one). I also 100% agree what Mess said. Mess always put exectly what I was thinking in such great wording... I begin to think he has connection to my brain

            The Supreme Court of Canada decides that Common-Law Couples who split up deserve their fair share
            The Supreme Court of Canada recently clarified the rules for separating common law spouses in the case of Michele Vanasse v. David Seguin.
            Michele took a leave of absence to move with David to Halifax for important business reasons. Over the next 3½ years, the Michele and David had two children with Michele staying home to look after the kids and David developed his company.
            Michele and David moved back to Ottawa in 1998. In September 2000, the company was sold, netting David about $11 million. Michele and David separated in 2005.
            Since Michelle had given up her job for several years to look after children and help her partner David Seguin build his business she was entitled to financial compensation.
            Supreme Court of Canada Justice Thomas Cromwell state that “where both parties have worked together for the common good, with each making extensive, but different, contributions to the welfare of the other and, as a result, have accumulated assets, the money remedy for unjust enrichment should reflect that reality”.
            This Supreme Court decision now creates are more equal footing for common-law couples and moves them closer to the status and rights that married couples currently enjoy.
            However, unlike many married couples the rights and status of common-law spouses will continue depend on the facts of each case.

              ^^ not on point. They don't have children together and therefore you cannot equate the cases instance where the woman stayed home to raise the kids to this instance where she helped out for less than adequate compensation.

              Further, that case involves a sold company with an easily attributable value. In this case, it is a) a farming venture, meaning it is hard to value and b) is at least jointly owned with a 3rd party (the ex's mom).

              Notwithstanding the above, taking into compensation she was paid by the company, one may also have to consider her living in a residence owned by the company and not paying rent/utilities and any amounts that may be worth. Living rent free at the cost of the company would most likely be deemed a "benefit" to the OP, and could be valued accordingly.
